A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas

adventurous dark mysterious tense medium-paced

4.5

All I saw last year on tiktok was ACOTAR this ACOTAR that and I didn't think it would be my thing but this year I have really gotten into more fantasy books so I caved and decided to give it a try - I mean it does have 2.8 million ratings on GoodReads.

Okay, I actually really enjoyed this - it was so nice to start a book knowing that it's a series, getting immersed in the world, and also with it being totally brand new (like most of the fantasy series I have read are ones that have film adaptations i.e Harry Potter, Twilight, Divergent etc), I really had no idea where it was all going to go. It was cringey at times, like laugh out loud, hand to forehead kinda stupid but nevertheless the book as a whole was good enough for me. It was such an easy read, it just flew by, so I'm excited to continue the series and meet new characters + explore some of the different courts hopefully!

I've done so well not to see any spoilers so I'm hoping I can keep it that way until I finish the series!
